33rd BON ODORI 200918th July
There's only one word to describe the event; EXCITING!
My big sis's friends came to my house to wear their yukata's (summer kimonos) and I helped them a little. I was wearing one too!

That's Annie behind me. Haha.
Hehe. It's amazing that I could still remember how to tie the Obi(bow) after two years since my last visit to Japan.. =D
After all the arrangement, complications and Hoo-haa on who's going with who, I ended up in my parents' car with my sisters. The people who came with us were:
-Annie
-Annie's bro
-Annie's bro's friend
-Aki
-Zhi Yun
(All the above are Reg's friends)
They were really fun company! The only downside to the day was that there was HAZE. I remembered coming home having a sore-throat.
There were alot, I mean ALOT of picture taking. Especially with strangers. I don't think my sisters and I have taken enough pictures for ourselves. lol.
Here are some random pics that Annie's bro took for us while taking with people.




There's this one time when we spotted a hot Jap guy, the sisters and friends requested a picture with him and we stood like this.
(He looks bad in pictures)
Aki, Reg, Hayashi-something , Annie, Theng, Me.
Annie's bro was so helpful to help us take our pictures. But when he started to take a picture, strangers started sticking their tripod stands in the ground and flashing their DSLRS at our faces. About 11 or so.
We thought we were going blind.
I think we stood there for about 2 minuites with the same smile. Maybe that Japanese guy was too hot. Hahahaha. I wanted to meet up with Syara, Su Ann and the others but I couldn't find them! The place was crammed with people!
So, we danced a little, and took more pictures..
We bought those water balloon yo-yos which are really fun to play!
------------------------------------------------------------I just remembered something:A couple of weeks ago, my family and I went to KHAS supermarket (pemborong) to get some stuff for steamboat. I saw some chick peas and
Kacang Kuda Belah. Never tried those before..
Me: Jie, you want to buy some.....(tries to translate) ...horse nuts?
Reg: What?!
Me: -Realises- OH. HAhahaha! But the full name is
splitted horse nuts.
Reg: HAHAHHAHAHA.
